British user Flickr issue

[dobil]

Just had my Flickr account which had been set to safe by them when the pro account business came in altered. Originally this meant as I didn't have pro account then I could not post adult content. I was ok with that as Flickr wanted original images not internet stuff. I could still view everyone elses pro account just not post.
Now due to changes in Britain, my Flickr account of safe has been again changed to safe but unable to view adult images unless I buy a pro account. Most other sites just have you provide age verification. Seems a sneaky way to get you to buy a pro account as no age verification system in place. So after 8 years on the site following 371 members I will no longer be able to see posts from our Rubbergears from here and the many FF and biker people I follow.

I'm from Louisiana, the unfortunate birth place of porn site age verification and I've started using Planet VPN on Chrome and setting my IP to either Portland, Oregon or New York City.

Flickr is still a goldmine and I just keep posting and resubscribing. They've deleted me a few times for some of the videos I've posted

That is not my issue. Flickr have put my account to safe and I can only view adult content if I switch my account to a paid version. So logging in with a VPN makes no difference.


MESSAGE WHEN I LOG ON...


Account update: Terms of Service
We’ve updated our Terms of Service for UK users to include age verification requirements. You must be 18 or older with a Pro subscription to view mature content. By continuing to use Flickr, you acknowledge and agree to the updated Terms of Service.

Did anyone find a workaround for this?

I cant view adult content even using a VPN
